Cathedral Windows by Hand

Cathedral windows is a stunning pattern that really looks great with different fabric designs and colors. It is done entirely by hand, so it does take a certain amount of patience, but it's worth it! Personally, I find hand sewing to be very relaxing, so I'll work on it a bit here and there, when I need a break from other projects. It is also a really nice quilt to work on when traveling once you have your fabrics precut you will only need a few supplies to take along.
